Car park lighting in Berkeley
What we do in Berkeley: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Berkeley still use sodium lanterns on columns that are structurally fine. Swapping just the heads for LED gives whiter, more even light for much less power.

Local car park lighting in Berkeley
For Berkeley retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
New columns in Berkeley need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
For Berkeley premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
